Changing pdf zoom (LaTeX=>PDF)

Post by haaj86 »

Hi, I am using TexnicCenter to write my report and when I build my file (Latex=> PDF) and open the pdf the page zoom is always 54.4% (i.e. fit to page) even though I have the default zoom of adobe reader at 100%. If I open any other pdf document the view size will be 100%, but whenever I build my report file and view it the zoom will be 54.4%. This is really important to me because I keep viewing file after I finish any paragraph and I hate it how I have to zoom into the pdf file manually.
It is probably to do with entering a code into Build>Define Output Profiles>view, but I have no idea what its suppose to be.
Please help

Take a look at the hyperref manual (Section 3.6 - PDF display and information options, p. 8ff). There you will find some settings for the pdfstartview option.

Thank you so much for your fast reply. I am learning a lot from this document, it is extremely useful.
It turned out all what I really had to do was to include the Fit Width option the hyperref package:

\usepackage[pdfstartview=FitB]{hyperref}

Thank you
